Hotels & More appoints Paul Maine for Tour Partner Group

Paul Maine will join from September 6th as the new group chief executive of Hotels & More.

Maine will be heading the newly named Tour Partner Group which is a holding company for Hotels and More, Irish Welcome Tours and Authentic Vacations.

Karin Urban the managing director of Hotels and More will transit to the non-executive director of the board of Tour partner Group while Maine will hold the executive responsibilities for Hotels & More.

Maine previously served the STA Travel, the world’s largest student and youth travel agency. He worked there for four years as the chief commercial officer for the group and looked after the global partnerships, product development and subsidiaries.

Before STA travel he worked for eight years with Delta Air Lines in various international commercial roles.

Hotels & More expands its portfolio of brands strengthening its market leading position as a destination management company in the UK and Ireland.

However, the businesses of Tour Partner Group will operate under their own brands but will be independently led. There will be mutual benefits from shared group infrastructure that will enhance the operations, capabilities and provide an expanded geographical footprint.

Mark Mayhew, chairman of Tour Partner Group was delighted to have Karin in the new role as a non executive director.
